MR Füzyon

MR Fusion is an advanced technology that enables more accurate and reliable diagnosis by combining data obtained from different imaging methods. Especially the integration of MR (Magnetic Resonance) images with real-time modalities such as ultrasound allows for the precise detection of lesions and facilitates accurate biopsies or interventional procedures. This method eliminates the limitations of standard imaging techniques and provides significant contributions to clinical decision-making.

Technological Infrastructure and Application

MR Fusion technology matches previously acquired MR images with ultrasound or other imaging modalities using specialized computer software. Through this integration, suspicious areas identified on MR scans can be marked on real-time ultrasound images. Frequently used in prostate biopsies, this method makes it easier to detect small or deep-seated lesions that may be missed by standard ultrasound.

During the procedure, the clinician can simultaneously view both the live ultrasound image and the MR data on the screen, allowing precise targeting of the region of interest. This ensures biopsy samples are collected from the correct location, reduces false-negative rates, and increases diagnostic reliability.

Advantages

• Provides accurate identification of suspicious areas with high precision.
• Enables targeted biopsy, preventing unnecessary tissue removal.
• Reduces the likelihood of false-negative results.
• Enhances procedural safety through real-time guidance.
• Prioritizes patient comfort and safety during procedures.

Clinical Applications

Although MR Fusion technology is widely used in urology, it is also applied in various other medical specialties:

• Urology: Increases sensitivity in prostate biopsies and prostate cancer diagnosis.
• Oncology: Used for tumor monitoring and treatment response evaluation.
• Liver Diseases: For imaging and biopsy guidance of liver lesions.
• Women’s Health: Assessment of suspicious areas in gynecological organs.
